Message-ID: <200402052334.18047.ypwhich@io.com> From: ypwhich at io.com (rhetorical question) Subject: Interesting side effect of the new IE patch Hello, I *may* be wrong. But I do believe the "http://username:password@... " bit has been around for some time. I remember finding that out a long time ago, which was convient in regards to browsing FTP sites which require a login/ password. Was using Netscape Navigator Gold, mid 90s. I still have some of my old browsers, will install a few and test it out. Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu wrote: > Do the research. Who did it first?
